Wittle Down Your Waist Not Your Wallet

It’s that time of year when you start wondering out loud what to do about all the gifts you must buy for the holidays. If you’ve been working out in preparation for the onslaught of office parties, religious activities, community functions and cultural events, you are not alone. These things are great because they usually involve our favorite foods as part of the celebration. And these things are terrible for the exact same reason. What’s a health enthusiast to do!

With careful planning, you can save your wallet as well as your waist. Don’t let the stress of the media saturated commercial blitz urging you to get in there and get shopping overcome your pledge to act responsibly this year. Here’s a tip: Go to the Groupon site and check out the great deals they offer on brands like Carter’s. You can get so much for so little you’ll be shocked to find out how much you can save on name brand items in every department in the store.
